Hi Autumn,
We are in the process of adopting and are getting as prepared as possible. We are ready to docloth diapers, but the ones we have start out at 8 lbs…are there any disposables that are safe until they are to that 8 lb. mark? I bought some Huggies Pure & Natural diapers today then came home to do research and will be taking them back tomorrow. Any ther options for a newborn though? Please help!

Janet,
I agree with Autumn 100% on the wool soakers. We started out using fleece pockets at night and after a few months we had leaking, so against our better judgment we switched to disposables at night…smelly and leaky now. So after tons of research I decided I couldn’t be afraid of wool any longer and started doing that. The wool is great with our bamboo fitteds and no more leaks.

Janet, making wool soakers out of sweaters would be the best and least expensive solution for nighttime cloth diaper leaks. I also recommend the sbish snapless fitteds. They are one size and very absorbent. I use the sbish bamboo fitted and although pricier you only need 1 or 2.

Thank you so much for this information Autumn. I knew too, that disposables were not the best thing for my children. I use cloth during the day and disposables at night because of leaking.
I have some disposables sitting on my changing table… I’m going to throw them out.
Now I need to find something for leaking during the night. Any ideas that I can do that are really cheap? (tight month $ for us)

Thanks so much again.
Blessings,
Janet

Autumn,

Thanks so much for sharing this info! We used disposables for the first month of our son’s life, then started CDing with prefolds but still were using disposables on the road. Now we’ve switched to pockets, and I am determined to not use disposables any more! I purchased a small wet bag to go in his diaper bag, and this system works wonderfully.

Seventh Generation diapers don’t use dioxin but they do have a gel in them.

From their website “Seventh Generation uses SAP, sodium acrylate polymer, as the absorbent polymer (gel). This material provides the best method for keeping a baby dry, comfortable and helps reduce diaper rash. Research has demonstrated this gel is safe and non-toxic to baby’s skin.” They also state that they use less than the other brands of diapers.

I have just switched to cloth for my 2nd child and used Seventh Generation on my 1st. Wish I had used cloth on my first- but headed the right way now.

I also used cotton cloth diaper to my son and there were seldom occasions that I use disposable diapers to him. And I am proud to say that didn’t have any rashes and I save a lot of money because diaper is way expensive here in our area.
